7 | !!The Film: |
8 | * ApprovalOfGod: While she eviscerated the movie for twisting her relationship with Shakur, Creator/JadaPinkett praised Kat Graham and Demetrius Shipp Jr. for their portrayals of herself and Tupac, respectively. Suge Knight and Music/SeanCombs also gave their blessings and praise to their portrayals in the movie. |
9 | * DuelingWorks: A minor one with ''Unsolved'', a miniseries which similarly acts as a biopic of not only Tupac Shakur's life, but also Music/TheNotoriousBIG's. There are many who claim that the series does a much better job covering Shakur's life than this film. |
10 | * DiedDuringProduction: Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, was the executive producer for the movie, and died over a year before it hit the theaters. |
11 | * NotScreenedForCritics: The film wasn't screened for critics prior to release, leading some fans to fear the worst. [[ArtisticLicenseHistory And they were right]]. |
12 | * RoleReprise: Jamal Woolard, who starred as Big Poppa in ''Notorious'', returns once again as The Notorious B.I.G. |
13 | * SavedFromDevelopmentHell: It took seven years to get the film out due to multiple behind the scenes issues, most notably with John Singleton leaving the director's chair due to extreme creative differences, and a [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/tupac-biopic-producer-brings-10m-835336 massive lawsuit]] against Creator/MorganCreek over the casting of Tupac and the movie's distribution, among other things. For perspective, Demetrius Shipp was cast as Tupac in 2011, but didn't start principal photography until ''2015''. |
14 | * SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Demetrius Shipp Jr. bears an uncanny resemblance to the real Tupac Shakur. Naturally, because his father was one of Tupac's producers, [[EpilepticTrees theories]] began springing up that Tupac slept with his mother at some point.[[note]]Demetrius was born in 1988, so unless Pac unknowingly had a tryst as a teen, or had a time machine, it's ''very'' unlikely he was Shipp's father.[[/note]] |
15 | * ThoseTwoActors: Creator/DanaiGurira and Creator/LaurenCohan are most famously associated through ''Series/{{The Walking Dead|2010}}''. |
16 | * UncreditedRole: Music/SnoopDogg and [[Music/DigitalUnderground Shock G]] did ADR for their respective characters, but weren't credited for it. |
17 | * WorkingTitle: The film was initially titled ''Tupac'' in its early stages. |
